I don't want to speak for everyone else, but there are many members of our team who simply don't want to be on the podcast for one reason or another. Also, coordinating times with more than one other person is difficult since we're all over the world and have our own busy schedules. I would certainly love to get as many Massively writers on the show as possible, though!
Also, I wanted to say that with Aion, I recognized just how much time is needed to do this CmA series properly. The game is not meant to be looked at a few hours a week. This is the sole reason I passed it on to Krystalle, as stated at the end of the article. I don't think it's fair for me to complain about how little time I have to play these games, and although I'd love to keep up as the one doing the series, it's literally impossible when you work 16 hours a day, have a family, etc.
So here's to hoping Krystalle has the time to do the series justice :)
Fair enough. I don't think this is the place for guild drama, so I've left a proper response at the guild forum.
The bottom line is that I'm very grateful for the help I've received from members of SoH, including advice, materials, items and companionship. I don't get a chance to play very late at night with the rest of the legion, so I can understand why Ashin might believe that I'm never around. I honestly thought I was welcome in the guild and was having fun with the people I played with during the mornings.
It was clearly stated that I play each of these games in this series only 6 weeks. My impressions, as stated several times, were based on those 6 weeks. This write-up, as well as others I've done in the series are based on 6 weeks of play.
The folks in SoH have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and they made sure to always let me know that they can ask me any question at any time. I took advantage of that kindness on several occasions, but just not at the right time of day, it appears. I understand how you (Ashin) could feel let down after offering so much help, but I feel that you're undermining the efforts of your fellow legion-mates by saying that I never got help from anyone.
Anyway, as I said, I look forward to playing the game for another 6 weeks, but I'll most-likely need to do it on an alt now.
